URL line breaking: equals and ampersand sides · case 05

Query strings only break on one side of = and &.

Member previewVariant 5 · 3 implementations · 8 checks per implementation

Case contract

Input [url, width]. Break opportunities (no hyphen added): after ":"; after "//" (never between its slashes); before a single "/"; before . - _ ? # % ~; before or after = and &. While the rest exceeds the width, break at the latest opportunity within width characters, else hard-break at width. Return lines.

Why this case matters

Line breaking decides where paragraphs wrap on screen and in print; a wrong decision point shifts every following line.
